All user reviews for the Gibson EB-0 (1972)

Made in U.S. short-scale, 3 inserts bridge, set neck (very close to that of Lespaul), 22 frets, 1 humbucker style tank wehrmacht (rather large size and kind that strips), 1 volume 1 tonalité.Pas complicated : bass, whatever.

UTILIZATION

The handle is hosting a papi punjabi, ergonomics a bit boring in the treble (especially little problem of balance, I had to put the belt clip behind the horn down to avoid unwanted pitch, making that the strap passes his hand in the extreme treble ... Near unmanageable)
At the same time you tell me: if you play this bass is not to blow up the P and type Mouse in the 28th box!
We get it sound good by plugging in his bass sound has some chose.Elle ultra-roots and oldchool, respect! Yesterday I found myself to play without an amp, for the first time I branch line on the edge of the console ... BOUUUM !!!!!!
A caveat for those who do not take lifts the agreement ... ARG!

SOUNDS

After I took the cabbage months trying to play tricks with complex I handed in its case .... A few months ago they call me; plan salsa. I asked him the ropes and net flat road. My friends ... the sound is unbeatable for the salsa! we say a baby bass but much less annoying to transport (and no less class!)
The sound is heavy, fat, matte, warm, uneven, short a bass sound that vit.Amis Basseux modern ... Goodbye! This sound is to revive the Arnold & Willy. Shaft to dust. To unearth the Jacksons 5!
One evening in a small room I find myself playing on a Peavey TKO 115 ... everyone told me to fall, I fall, I fall ... At the end I was almost to 1 the percussion was always complaining trembling of his congas!! HAHAHA! HIS big!
It has something to accuracy, I sometimes ... But even more FAT.
But defining issue ... The sound is pretty rough anyway. AND then I sound weird tone to 0.

OVERALL OPINION

When I want to do art, "I'll fire well, when I want me I will fart out a press book, when I want to make the low ... ZE is bass!

Low passive American manufactured in 1967 (I think) in 1975 to form SG.
this one is 74 so for info from 1972 on IB0 we have a set neck rosewood fingerboard is érable.La 20 frets, one humbucker neck position, a volume a tone.
Another peculiarity: from 72, the single microphone is placed, not glued to the handle, but a bit more in the center of the table, such as precision.
It seems that at the time Gibson did the economy on the nail, or when the mine ran across the highway without looking and is littered with fart and scratch, and it seems that the varnish does not hold. In this version, we have a natural color, mahogany body and maple for the neck, with a gradient to black behind the head. I had never seen it!
But I prefer the natural wood color: yum she is beautiful !!!!!!
The original bridge is like three inserts. For me it's crap, after a few months, I changed it against a Hipshot that changed everything.
It's a short scale bass.

UTILIZATION

The handle is typical Gibson, very round and peaceful environment.In access to acute nickel is, ergonomics Special ... anyway: it tends to lean. So one remedy; webbing accocroche enough clothes to make it not slip. It must be said: mine, who has lived at the many bars on the varnish, has a belt clip andnot in the center but on the back of the dorsal horn.
In terms of getting good sound is very simple: it only has one!
It needs big strings, because it speaks of him a little tune. Indeed a game of rope standart ballast is completely soft top, it's rather boring.

SOUNDS

A big sound a bit messy but more old school than that you die <img class="smiley" src="/images/audiofanzine/interface/smileys/icon_lol.gif" alt="" /> !!
The output level is already enormous, more than all the other passes the house. We immediately feel that it belongs to a time when the bass amp was a generous medium.
If you plug it on an Ampeg transistor, modern type with all settings at noon you sound full of sub bass and super runny.
I play on a ashdown and as soon as I plug the retouching is mandatory équalo! So it&#39;s pretty flat on the bass amp and mids are mounted high and there was a sound full well it&#39;s a treat!
This is the only bass that I was humming it and sometimes I say it&#39;s a bass!
Good on the other hand sound very round and thick places we play pretty determined: we will not do it with Pastorius. When he was in the hands one plays the bass. But really. It not play the banjo, there is no fuss. It&#39;s the bass line to come, because it&#39;s made for that. I had to install a new bridge because, vintage or not, the bridge insert original three, who was with the plastic trigger guard, it&#39;s funny two minutes.
With the new bridge have gained in precision and sustain, but we will say: it is not his strong point either.
After a few months I had to admit that its not just typed VERY effects, and a game swift, yet that is exactly what I wanted to do.
In fact I play funk jazz, funk or psychedelic full effect. Obviously, it is not the ideal P. Because I wanted to do but if it comes to old school funk or rhythm &#39; No Blues, then tear it all here!

The question is asked to supply. But it&#39;s out of question, because there it gives me this! (Snif!) It is irreplaceable, it is true, it fragile. It is a low-paid.

I forgot: the key to zero we file a funny sound and I feel that it&#39;s acute stroke by mounting the medium and I even feel that the bass are shrinking! <img class="smiley" src="/images/audiofanzine/interface/smileys/icon_confused.gif" alt="" /> Zarb rather, it sounds a little pot ...


OVERALL OPINION


Initially I played nabbed Because one I tested a version of 73 in Paris 1800 and sold some €. And it&#39;s love at first sight integral. Sound. A peronnalité that puts all the beads of technology for Asian bland bits of wood brat. I turned to Epiphone to overcome my insomnia as I was about to have found my bride: BIG MISTAKE. The Epiphone is really a side of poop.
Later the tide has turned and I could nabbed a 74-less than half the price of one I testé.Il I had to do it because it was refretter défrettée, and replace the bridge, j &#39;ve had for 300 € to renovate and here it is.
The short scale one must love, anyway. Automatically sound is a bit messy, it&#39;s normal.
I coix this remake? But I did not choose! one who has accepted!
Particularity? most? the least? She has only one sound. A bass sound.
But it&#39;s bass, true. She sends her granny low frequencies with an old-school that puts Richard Dean Anderson for a kid of 3 years and half.
